Merchandiser - Essentials

Merchandiser – Essentials

Ansty Park & Home

Welcome to the powerhouse

Sainsbury’s a powerhouse, eh? Bet that isn’t the first thing you’d associate with us. Yet here we are. Stable enough to take risks every single day, and to encourage professionals like you to do the same. Big enough to give you proper autonomy and room to challenge the norm. Progressive enough to know that careers don’t need to be linear and you don’t always need to be at your desk to do a brilliant, crucial job. This is a place where trust and respect don’t have to be earned. After all our years in business, we know great people when we see them. And you’re one of them.

Why join us?

Everything we’ve already said, and more. There’s such breadth and scope here that you can afford to be curious, not cautious. You’ll effectively be owning a business unit and becoming more rounded as a result. It’s your chance to make big decisions and be agile about getting involved with things that might have been outside your job description before. As importantly, we operate differently. If you want to work in stores or depots to get closer to the customer, feel free. When there are other calls on your time, you can flex your day and work at home. What’s more, we’re all about internal promotions that change what you’re capable of, so look forward to even bigger challenges sooner than you think.

What you’ll be doing

As one of our Merchandisers you’ll translate and execute the category strategy for a given product range/series to deliver profitable growth and own the delivery of agreed KPIs. The role will also see you planning and delivering product ranges and agreed stock parameters to Sainsbury’s channels, building relationships with key senior level internal and external stakeholders every step of the way.

In addition, you’ll support the Senior Merchandiser and help a team of Assistant Merchandisers and Merchandise Admin Assistants perform at their best each day. You’ll always have your focus on the customer, and you’ll encourage them to do the same.

Who you are

You’ll bring us Merchandising experience and a good understanding of commercial issues. You will be familiar with merchandising and planning systems, and with replenishment systems, and you’ll thrive when the pressure’s on. Your influencing skills will also be key to building relationships around and outside the business, while your drive, motivation and initiative will be clear from day one.

Beyond that, just be who you are. This is an amazingly inclusive business where trust and respect are a given. We welcome different opinions and different perspectives. We have colleague networks which simply don’t exist in similar organisations. And people don’t just come here because of the culture — they come back because of it after a move.

What you could do in future

There are as many career paths as people. Feel free to move up or across, play to your strengths, see what you find the most rewarding and learn everything you can. There’ll be no limit to growth here at all — not this year, not five years from now — so do things differently, just like us.

In return

You’ll enjoy all this and more:

• Colleague discount across our brands – Sainsbury’s, Argos and Habitat
• Holiday allowance
• Bonus scheme
• Pension plan
• Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more
• Flexible working

We’re proud to be an equal opportunities employer that champions a diverse and inclusive culture. If you have any questions or special requirements, feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected]
